Platform Workers Get These Benefits with an NTUC Membership
NDCA, NPHVA, and NTA will help you with workplace disputes, work injuries, unfair treatment, grants, and insurance coverage.
1. Trusted Protection and Representation
Our associations look after your rights and well-being. We will:
- Negotiate Fair Terms: We engage with your platform operators to ensure more transparent payment terms and penalty policies.
- Championing for Your Rights: We advise platform workers on issues and appeal your cases on your behalf.
- Prioritise Your Health and Safety: We ensure that you have safe working conditions and practices because your well-being matters to us.
Join us, and we will make a difference in your work.
2. Helpful Assistance for Work Injuries
We understand the risks you face daily. Our associations will assist you when you are in accidents or injured at work.
We offer short-term assistance and work-injury support through our Work Injury Relief Scheme (WIRS). If you experience work-related injuries and receive five or more days of medical leave, you will receive $250 in FairPrice vouchers as a member.
3. Financial Help When You’re in Need
When eligible, you will have exclusive access to these NTUC assistance programmes:
- Union Training Assistance Programme (UTAP): You will enjoy 50 per cent course fee support for up to $250 each year. If you are over 40, your funding support will increase from $250 to $500.
- NTUC Care Fund (e-Vouchers): Eligible members can get up to $100, with an additional $100 for each eligible school-going child and an extra $100 per eligible school-going child studying in a special needs school.
- NTUC Hardship Grant: This is a one-time grant to low-income NTUC members who suffer hardship arising from fire or flood, death, total and permanent incapacity, or serious chronic medical conditions.
- CapitaLand-U Care Resilience & Enablement Fund (CAP+Ure Fund): An interim grant that supports your children’s daily necessities and schooling needs if you are impacted by a total and sudden (unexpected) loss of income.
Additionally, whether you are a taxi driver, PHV driver or freelance delivery worker, you can also benefit from free workshops that equip you with financial skills for self-employed persons.
